Reseña del libro "Tales of Shirt Tail Hollow (en Inglés)"
Grace dreaded the thought of spending another summer vacation cooped up in town in a tiny apartment with her young daughter, Hope. So she bought a small house in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. The house was run-down and in need of repairs with no electricity or running water, and an outhouse that probably had splinters. She knew that cooking and washing by hand was a lot of work, to say nothing of what it would take to fix up the house and overgrown land. She looked forward to a quiet life in the woods with Hope. So she thought. Hope had other ideas. She saw hundreds of green trees filled with singing birds, and a gurgling stream to wade in filled with frogs, fish, and turtles. In the distance she heard cows mooing and pigs grunting. It all looked so interesting and fascinating! And interesting and fascinating it was for both Grace and Hope. It will be the same for you as you find out why the washday sheets were so muddy but the washed rug was so clean. Follow Grace and Hope to the left side of the road mushrooms, and watch Precious Pup gobble down a $12.00 bone. Learn about the broken leg, feeding crows, how both Shirt Tail Hollow and Seven-thirty the cat got their names, whether Hope successfully rode a reluctant cow, and the saga of pigs versus skunks (or is it skunks versus pigs?).I don't know if this book is for kids or adults - in fact, all ages will enjoy it, from toddlers to grandparents. Read it yourself, give it to your children, parents, and grandparents, and read it aloud to the young ones.
